Criminal Investigation Software – FACES for Law Enforcement

That’s why thousands of police agencies worldwide
-- including the CIA, FBI and the US Military
-- use FACES, the breakthrough facial composite software from IQ Biometrix.

Endorsed by crime fighting agencies and supported
by police as a proven, effective tool, FACES police sketch generator has
been used successfully for more than five years
to identify, track and apprehend criminal suspects.

FACES 4.0 is the latest and most advanced version
of our award-winning technology, with new features
including:
• expanded database of 4,400 facial features
• new Latin, African-American and Asian components
• ability to export images in JPEG format to use
in police bulletins, advisories and websites
• three-tone hair features and hair flip, and
facial markings such as piercings, moles, scars
and tattoos

Easy to Use, No Forensic Artist Skills Needed
The improved interface of FACES 4.0 makes it easy
for any police officer to create accurate composites
with a click of a mouse. No forensic artist skills
or experience are required. With FACES, composites
can be created more quickly and inexpensively
and used to solve crimes when a professional sketch
artist isn’t available. FACES 4.0 can be used
on any standard desktop or laptop computer running
Microsoft Windows 98 or better.

Facial Database
With an expanded database of 4,400 facial features,
including new Latin, African-American and Asian
components, FACES 4.0 lets you create accurate
composites of either sex and any race. Selected
features are blended together to produce a photo-quality
composite image. New to FACES 4.0 is the ability
to enhance image accuracy by choosing among three
different hair tones: adding facial markings such
as scars, moles, piercings, tattoos and earrings:
and using hats, headwear and eyeglasses.

Facial ID Codes
An exclusive feature of FACES criminal investigation software is that it automatically
generates a Biometric Alphanumeric Code (BAC)
for every facial composite you develop. The 56-digit
in the BAC code represent the specific facial
features (eyes, nose, mouth, etc) in the FACES
image. This digital “fingerprint” can be transmitted
between police agencies in any format (phone,
fax, email) and used to recreate an FACES image
in exact detail. BAC code transmission – less
than 1KB - is ideal for wireless transmission
between police cars and stations.

Composite Databases
Police agencies can have suspect composites from
hundreds or thousands of unsolved cases stored
in individual criminal investigation files. Through FACES
integration with mugshot systems, agencies can
create electronic composite image databases to
allow investigators to share composite evidence
and to search and match composites to determine
whether suspects may have been involved in multiple
crimes.

Facial Recognition/Identification
The ability of FACES to create near-photo quality
images allows it to be integrated with facial
recognition technologies. Police can build a composite
of a suspect, and use it to electronically search
mugshot and other photo databases. Matches can
then be presented as a "virtual lineup"
for positive identification by witnesses. The
ability of the FACES ID code to be transmitted
other agencies means that composites matches can
be run against databases in multiple agencies
or jurisdictions.

Police Bulletins and Alerts
FACES 4.0 criminal investigation software allows for easy export of facial images
as JPEG files that can be included in police bulletins,
advisories and websites. FACES 4.0 can also be
integrated with emergency/rapid alert systems,
such as amber alert notifications for abducted
and endangered children, where composite evidence
can be essential to immediate, coordinated law
enforcement efforts.

Video Enhancement
Police agencies are successfully integrating FACES
4.0 with video enhancement technologies. These
technologies are used to isolate, stabilize and
enhance a suspect image recorded in video surveillance.
FACES criminal investigation software can be used to develop a composite based
on the enhanced image and other information such
as witness descriptions. The result is a clean,
photo-like image for suspect identification and
tracking.
